Note: Use subheadings in your submission. Those that use AI (artificial intelligence) or plagiarized will receive an “F”. APA formatting is mandatory not optional. Not submitting the assignment in APA format will reduce the potential outcome by one letter grade. Also, it is my expectations that you are able to research the topic and articulate your findings. I will not except submissions that are mainly retrieved from the source, and not articulated in your words. For those that may need assistance with APA writing style, please search Purdue Writing Standards.
